Electric Circuits from the AIMS book.
The students will be learning the two different types of circuits by using batteries, bulbs, and wires to create circuits. We will also be using switches and exploring what makes a circuit and discussing why a circuit works or does not work using different variables.
Materials Needed:
Batteries
Bulbs
Wires
Battery holder
Bulb holder
Switches
Motors
Jessica Harper
"Path Finders" from the AIMS book Electrical Connections.
The students will learn about complete and incomplete circuits by trying to light a bulb using various systems of bulbs, wires, and batteries.
Materials Needed:
D batteries
bulbs
wires
scissors
red and yellow crayons
Glue stick
If possible I would also like to do the activity "Conductor or Insulator" from the AIMS book Electrical Connections.
Students will test a variety of materials to determine if they are conductors or insulators.
Materials needed:
paper clips
pencils
string
ruler
wire
D batteries
bulbs
tape
Tina Gibson
"Put your Name in Lights" from the AIMS book Electrical Connections
The students will design a circuit that allows students to make a bulb go on and off. They will then get a print out of a book about Morse Code (from the AIMS book) that tell them what Morse Code is and the codes for each letter of the alphabet. Students will then use the codes and their circuit to say their name in Morse Code.
